Great experience on hidden Osaka gems

Yadira_N, Feb 2026

Our host was so nice and she was interactive and bubbly. Made our outing a nice experience! Definitely recommend.

Sakura the best!

Ben_L, Jun 2025

Sakura was hands down the best host we have ever had! From beginning to end, she was on every detail. Love to have her again!

Our guide took us to...

Keinan_T, Mar 2025

Our guide took us to incredible drinking spots with great food! We had a terrific time and it's one of the best Viator experiences I've had in Japan.

Not exactly a bar crawl…

David_K, Mar 2025

Very pleasant tour guide but was expecting the guide to share some local insights about the areas we walked through, why we chose the couple of eateries we chose, why we ate what we ate (or even what the food was or if locals like those foods)…it felt like we probably could’ve accidentally wandered into the places we went and learned more on our own…a bit disappointed as we’ve done food/bar tours before and this one just fell short.

10/10 Bar/Pub crawl. Highly recommend.

Sincerely my best Bar/Pub hopping tour and easily one of the highlights of my trip. Yuya lived abroad so no issues understanding his English and provided a massive amount of local insight (spoken directly) that I just don’t know where else you could get in person or online. Completely serendipitously, we ran into a famous person which only added to the experience. If you’re looking for a fun time out to talk with locals and learn more about the scene, and I mean the actual real places/people that live there, don’t hesitate to book, I highly recommend it.

A great time!

Jessie_V, Jan 2025

Our guide Yuya-san brought us to 3 different local establishments on our pub crawl. All of which had great food and drinks and fantastic service that we enjoyed with our group. We also got some recommendations for things to do in the city as well as a karaoke place to visit after our pub crawl was over. We did end up going to Karaoke and made it a night to remember. Thank you for this great experience! Recommended to anyone who wants to elevate their stay in Osaka. 💪🏻💖

Easy, tasty, fun Osaka evening!

Siobhan_F, Dec 2024

Excellent evening with our engaging and knowledgeable guide Yuya! We had some delicious food and drinks and lots of laughs. Went down some side alleys and into doorways we never would have found on our own. Okini, Yuya!

Great pub crawl experience!

Domenic_o, Dec 2024

Starts with a wide variety of tasty food and then moves to a couple bars to try different drinks and sake.

Strangers become a “Gang”

Rick_C, Aug 2024

Great fun! Our host broke the ice and the liquor, bar choices and host coordination with bar staff, let our diverse group meld into a boisterous gang. So much so, after our host called it a night, “The Gang” stayed together for more fun. Highly recommended.

Fun times

robbert_v, Jun 2024
